4 out of 5 stars Fun

Went straight up the face at the bottom. Then left into the chimney from the ledge, after several attempts at going straight up(5.10+?). I believe the face climb at the bottom is probably a little harder than 5.6???

5 out of 5 stars Classic

First time climbing the Arch, lead the Block Rt to the tree ledge and then lead all three pitches. Once the fun starts it keeps coming, and coming, and then coming some more. It may be an "easy" 5.5 but do not "misunderestimate" this one.

5 out of 5 stars Fun Climb

Extremely hot day. Had done the "first pitch" up to the ledge above the little tree on top-rope but had never done the block move.

4 out of 5 stars Fun Climb

Fun but I definitely need to improve my footwork if I'm gonna climb at 5.9 or harder.

Fun climb but surprisingly difficult, well physically anyway.

4 out of 5 stars Fun climb

Cold day, rock was like ice. Took longer to climb than it should have due to having to stop every few feet to try and warm my hands.

4 out of 5 stars Fun but seemed hard for 5.5

Cold day, rock was like ice. Maybe it was because my hands were frozen, and I couldn't feel anything, but this climb seemed hard for a 5.5. Also, I moved out onto the face, after the start, instead of staying in the crack, so maybe that is why it seemed harder.

4 out of 5 stars Nice Climb

Climbed it twice as a warm-up climb. The first time up I flailed around like a total noob at the crux and had to traverse left, almost to Ooga Chocka, to get past it. The second time up was a breeze.

There is a nice little alternate start that pulls the small (5.7-5.8?) roof just off the ground.
